[PD] spca

[Andrew Cavers]

Jeroen,

Are you sure that webcam doesn't use the pwc driver? Regardless, I
also had problems with the pwc part of pdp. It is incompatible with
the new reverse-engineered pwc drivers and should be removed from pdp.
Once the pwc code from pdp was removed, pdp treated my pwc webcam like
any thoer and it worked perfectly. See my previous post
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2005-07/029535.html for
how to remove the pwc bit and hopefully solve your problem.

Hope this helps.

Andrew.
